As Contributing Editor for Eve’s Wine 101, I have to take responsibility not only for errors in my own articles, but also for the ones that I edit. So, I’ve become especially sensitive when I see things in print that bother me, some wine-related, some not, even when something may not be technically incorrect but just my personal preference. And I know I am as guilty of these so-called errors as anyone else, but I find it much easier to see them in others’ writing as opposed to my own.
So, here are some of the things that bug me, both in print and out…

He has had the good fortune of having numerous mentors to show him the way, as well as a wonderful wife who puts up with him. After a couple of decades of learning about wine, attending events, visiting tasting rooms and tasting as much wine as he possibly could, Michael had the amazing good fortune to meet Eve Bushman.

Now, as Contributing Editor for Eve’s Wine 101, he does his best to bring as much information as possible about wine to Eve’s Wine 101 faithful readers. At the same time, in his day job he provides outsourced controller services to companies that do not need a full-time controller. One day, he hopes to be able to combine these two pursuits.
